An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“Dustin, since we got what we came for, should we leave now?” Abigail asked.

“There’s no need to rush.” Dustin shook his head. “If we leave too soon, it might raise suspicion. Let’s stay a little while longer. We’ll leave when someone leaves.”

“Alright, there’s plenty to eat and drink anyway, and there’s performances to watch. And it’s all free. I think it’s a shame to leave now too.” Abigail chuckled.

With so many delicacies and fine drinks, they would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars for it themselves. But they could enjoy it all for free here. It was indeed a luxurious experience.

“Mr. Adams…” Dahlia suddenly approached them with a smile.

“Thank you for saving my life earlier. If it wasn’t for you, I would have been killed by the Onyxclaw. This is a small gift of my appreciation. I hope you’ll accept it.”

“You’re welcome, Ms. Nicholson. But it was nothing really. Even if I hadn’t stepped in, I believe there would’ve been many brave heroes that would,” Dustin said, downplaying his role.
